Mission

The East-West Center

contributes to a peaceful,

prosperous, and just

Asia Pacific community

by serving as a vigorous

hub for cooperative

research, education,

and dialogue on critical

issues of common concern

to the Asia Pacific region

and the United States.

Message from EWC Presidentand Board of Governors Chairman

For the East-West Center, 2009 was especially notable for the preparations that began for the

Center’s 50th anniversary the following year, and for the selection of Hawai‘i as the

primary venue for the U.S. year of hosting the 2011 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation

(APEC) forum, the Asia Pacific’s region’s premier institution for multilateral cooperation.

As the Center prepared to mark the important milestone of its 50th year, it recommitted itself

to its core values of collaboration, expertise, and leadership. These values, and the ideals behind

them that gave birth to the Center half a century ago, are needed more than ever in the globalized

21st century world, and we intend to continue setting the pace.

Each year, the East-West Center creates new business. In fact, a very significant portion of the

Center’s current activities didn’t even exist a decade ago. These activities include, for example,

programs in Washington, D.C. such as the annual Asia policy meetings under the auspices of the

U.S. Asia Pacific Council, frequent topical seminars, and the Asia Matters for America project,

which provides data and graphic analysis of how Asia and the United States interact economically

and at the grassroots level.

Other recent East-West Center programs include the Asia Pacific Leadership Program, the

Senior Journalists Seminar focusing on exchange between Asian Muslim and American journalists,

the International Media Conference, the International Graduate Student Conference, the Changing

Faces exchange for women leaders, the Asian International Justice Initiative, and a variety of

programs in support of the ASEAN organization. Proven traditional programs, such as the Jefferson

Fellowships, the Summer Population Seminars, and the AsiaPacificEd for K-12 teachers and schools

have been transformed or reformatted to address new concerns and meet changing needs.

This year’s annual report features two examples of new business begun in 2009 — election

monitoring and an environmental leadership program. The monitoring of democratic elections in

the Pacific has grown out of the longstanding relationships built with the Pacific island nations

through the Pacific Islands Conference of Leaders and the Pacific Islands Development Program.

In 2009, under the auspices of the Asia Pacific Democracy Partnership, the EWC established an

election observation mission for federal and state elections in the Federated States of Micronesia,

and in 2010, it will be monitoring elections in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon

Islands. What is distinctive about the Center’s election monitoring teams is that they are particularly

diverse, composed of other islanders as well as Americans and Asians. Most of the observers are

drawn from the Center’s extended family of alumni, friends, and professional colleagues.

The Asia Pacific Leadership Program

staff organized an environmental

leadership program for the Department

of State’s Bureau of Educational and

Cultural Affairs, drawing upon the

Center’s partnerships, networks and long

experience in leadership development

and environment issues. Developed

largely for undergraduate students from

Asia and the Pacific islands, the program

provided a rich introduction in how U.S.

society grapples at the national and local

level with the complex issues related to environmental stewardship.

Major funding for both programs came from competed contracts through the U.S. Department

of State, but neither would have been possible without the continuing investments in expertise

made to the East-West Center through the general appropriated funding from Congress. These

investments continue to bear fruit in a wide variety of activities that bring together Americans and

their counterparts from the Asia and Pacific region in cooperative and meaningful study, research,

exchange, and dialogue settings. Virtually all these activities are conducted through partnership

arrangements that pool expertise, earn goodwill and defray costs. In FY2009, the Center recorded

almost 4,000 participants in several hundred activities, its most active year ever.

Helping to open the Center’s 50th year in January 2010, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham

Clinton remarked in her policy speech at the Center on the dramatic developments in the Asia

Pacific. Secretary Clinton noted that “the East-West Center has been part of this sea change,

helping to shape ideas and train experts.”

Under-Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Judith McHale recently said

the Center “embodies the President’s vision of how in this new era we must interact with people

from other countries, on the basis of respect and dialogue, seeking to listen and understand before

we speak and would be understood. The rest of us have finally caught up to you, 50 years later.”

Cheng Siwei, formerVice Chairman, Standing Committeeof the National People’s Congress,China; Jusuf Wanandi, PECC Co-Chair; Amb. Yoshiji Nogami, President,Japan Institute for InternationalAffairs; and Prof. Joseph Nye,Harvard University.

The survey of opinion leaders from 25 AsiaPacific economies was conducted in April 2009and is part of PECC’s State of the Region Report.Respondents overwhelmingly agreed that slowergrowth in Western industrialized countries forthe foreseeable future would encourage a shift todomestic demand growth in Asian economies.

“Opinion leaders in the region believe thata structural shift in the Asia Pacific economy isunderway as a result of the crisis,” said Yuen PauWoo, coordinator of PECC’s State of the Regionproject and president and CEO of the Asia PacificFoundation of Canada. “Fifty percent ofrespondents agree that the Chinese economyhas begun a transition away from export-ledgrowth to domestic demand-driven growth.”

The economists were pleased with the wayAsia Pacific policy makers tackled the crisis.“Generally, policymakers responded aggressively,”said Takatoshi Kato, the IMF’s Deputy ManagingDirector. Respondents gave overwhelming approvalof China’s stimulus package with a satisfaction ratingof more than 60%. “China’s stimulus packageprevented a free fall of their economy,” stated Amb.Yung Chul Park, former Korean Ambassador forInternational Economy and Trade and past chairmanof the Korea Exchange Bank. “South Korea alsoseems to be on the right track toward recovery.”

The United States membership in PECC isadministered through the U.S. Asia Pacific Council(USAPC), a program of the East-West Center.For more about the conference and remarksexpressed at the event, visit the meetingwebsite at: http://www.pecc18.org �

As the Asia Pacific region begins to see theeffects of various stimulus packages, expertsat the 18th General Meeting of the PacificEconomic Cooperation Council (PECC)discussed the global challenges still looming

on the long path to recovery. Business leaders,government officials, policymakers, and other AsiaPacific experts gathered in Washington D.C. at thePECC meeting hosted by the East-West Center inMay to identify regional responses for Asia Pacificeconomies to the global economic crises.

“We need to use this existing crisis as anopportunity to forge new kinds of partnership andcooperation, just as we learned from the Asianfinancial crises in the 1990s,” stated Deputy Secretaryof State James Steinberg in his address at the meeting.“…Now more than ever, guaranteeing our individualeconomic prosperity depends on promoting thecommon prosperity.”

A survey of more than 400 regional opinionleaders released during the two-day PECC conferencerevealed that, while a substantial number ofrespondents expected much weaker economic growthin 2010, the degree of pessimism had declinedcompared to a survey conducted in October 2008.“While it is too early to declare that a turnaround isunderway, the PECC survey nevertheless suggests thatopinion leaders are less pessimistic about the U.S.economy today than they were six months ago,” saidEWC President Charles E. Morrison, who is alsoInternational Chair of the Pacific EconomicCooperationCouncil. “Forty-five percent of survey respondentsexpect much weaker growth in the U.S. economycompared to 80 percent in the previous survey.”

EWC Coordinates Delegation to ObserveElections in Federated States of Micronesia

The Pacific Islands Development Program is

the research arm and secretariat to the Pacific

Islands Conference of Leaders, an organization

founded at the Center in 1980 composed of all

22 island governments in Oceania. PIDP also

publishes aWeb-based daily news service and

engages in conflict management in the region.

“This was an invaluable opportunity to observethe democratic process of a developing nation,”remarked delegation member Robert Sullivan, aUniversity of Hawai‘i professor from New Zealand.There is no formal political party system in the FSMor Chuuk State. However, there are no constraintsfrom the government to establish a party. “It seemsthat people in FSM and Chuuk State don’t considerpolitical parties as a prerequisite for democracy,”noted Teguh Santosa, an EWC degree fellow fromIndonesia. “The Chuukese and Micronesians tendto cast their political preferences based on personalrelationships, clanship, and family-ties with thecandidates… Nevertheless, the records show that theelection turnout in the FSM and Chuuk State isquite high, around 80 percent.”

The Election Observation Mission wasconducted under the auspices of the Asia PacificDemocracy Partnership, a multilateral collaborationof Asia Pacific countries to promote and strengthendemocratic processes in the region. The East-WestCenter coordinated the project through a grant fromthe U.S. Department of State’s Bureau ofDemocracy, Human Rights and Labor. �

The East-West Center’s Pacific IslandsDevelopment Program (PIDP) coordinatedan international delegation to observe thenational congressional and Chuuk stateelections in the Federated States of

Micronesia in March. “Despite the sensitive natureof having outside observers present for what in somecases were highly contested races, there was aremarkable air of openness and impressivehospitality extended to the groups visiting pollingstations on Election Day,” said Gerard Finin, PIDP’sdeputy director and the delegation project director.

An 18-member delegation of governmentofficials, academics, and civil society representativesobserved the elections at the invitation of the FSMnational and Chuuk state governments. Headed byCongressman Eni F.H. Faleomavaega of AmericanSamoa and chairman of the U.S. House ForeignAffairs Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific, and theGlobal Environment, the Election ObservationMission included representatives from 10 countries,including Aotearoa (New Zealand), Australia, India,Indonesia, Japan, Palau, Philippines, South Korea,Thailand and the United States.

After the election, the delegation issued astatement congratulating the people of the widelydispersed Pacific island nation “for an open andspirited electoral process, and for conducting anelection that generated high voter interest and wasfree of violence within the FSM.”

On Election Day, observers traveled to pollingsites in three states: Chuuk, Pohnpei and Yap. Teamsobserved more than 50 polling stations in remotelocations. Additionally, members of the missionobserved the chain of transmission of the ballot boxesto centralized tabulation centers and witnessed theearly tabulation process at various sites.

AIJI has also undertaken justice and capacity-building initiatives in other parts of Southeast Asia.Working in cooperation with the Supreme Court ofIndonesia, AIJI has established an on-going judicialand legal training project for judges, prosecutors,and investigators of the National Human RightsCommission, and non-governmental organizationsinvolved in human rights cases.

In 2009, a new partnership betweenAIJI, theAttorneyGeneral’s office of Indonesia, and the U.S. Departmentof Justice, resulted in a customized human rights train-ing program for prosecutors. AIJI also partnered withIndonesia’s newly created National Commission onWitness and Victim Protection to provide vital trainingand support as Indonesia begins to offer these protectionservices for the first time. AIJI’s initial training, held inNovember, helped prepare the commissioners and abroad representation of the judicial system staff, rangingfrom police to judges, prosecutors, and other staff.

Building on AIJI’s past work in Timor-Leste,having produced reports on the Special Panel forSerious Crimes in Dili, AIJI is currently developinga training program, at the request of the government,for Timorese police investigators and an archivalpreservation project related to the 1999 violence.

All of AIJI’s initiatives over the years have helpedbuild greater capacity at the national level in severalSoutheast Asian countries, which strengthened thefoundation for the establishment of the ASEANIntergovernmental Human Rights Commission(AICHR) in 2009. To support the work of thecommission, AIJI has been actively involved withthe creation of The Human Rights Resource Center forASEAN hosted by the University of Indonesia, whichwill undertake independent research, networking, andcapacity-building initiatives.

“The resource center serves as a uniqueplatform to use models based on AIJI’s Indonesiaand Cambodia training programs,” noted Cohen.“As a result, AIJI’s impact continues to expand inSoutheast Asia as we adapt these vital nationalprograms for implementation at the regional level.” �

The East-West Center’s Asian InternationalJustice Initiative (AIJI) has been laying thefoundation for human rights work at theregional level within ASEAN since 2003.AIJI is a collaborative project between the

East-West Center and the University of California -Berkeley War Crimes Studies Center.

AIJI’s project on the Khmer Rouge Tribunal inCambodia involves a series of monitoring, outreach,and legacy initiatives. The first trial at the ExtraordinaryChambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC),that of Kaing Guek Eav (Duch), officially closedin November 2009. AIJI recruited and trained aninternational cadre of trial monitors consisting ofyoung lawyers and human rights professionals,who produced weekly summary reports (KRTTrial Monitor) culminating in a final 60-pagereport detailing the ‘lessons learned’ from this trial(available online at: EastWestCenter.org/aiji).

The ‘Duch on Trial’ series —a weekly television broadcastproduced by AIJI in conjunctionwith Khmer Mekong Films(KMF), was aired on Cambodianprimetime TV, generating aweekly audience of between800,000 and 3 million viewers (20%of the country’s population). TimeMagazine described the series as a“sleeper hit” and noted that thisshow became the main way manyyoung Cambodians, who were nottaught about the Khmer Rouge inschool, “heard about this dark chapterof their country’s history for the first time.”

In the years leading up to this landmark trial,AIJI conducted trainings for the defense counsel,co-prosecutors, and judges, and worked directlywith grassroots NGOs in Phnom Penh to developoutreach programs designed to increase thedissemination of locally-produced informationand analysis about the tribunal process.

“The basis for healing is an awareness of thepast,” stated AIJI Director David Cohen. “AIJI’soutreach programs helped people understand thehuman dimension of what really happened inCambodia during the Khmer Rouge period.”AIJI is set to continue with a combination oftraining, monitoring, and outreach for the durationof the ECCC’s next trial of four senior KhmerRouge leaders slated to begin in early-mid 2011.

AIJI’s 2009 Summer Institute on International Humanitarian Law,held in Bali, attracted lawyers, government officials, journalists,and NGO workers from 15 countries. AIJI’s Director David Cohenand Deputy Director Michelle Staggs Kelsall (both in front row,center) coordinated the program.

It takes a calamity for people to learn and change,but we cannot wait for an environmentalcatastrophe, the time for change is now,” statedCai Dingyan from Singapore, one of the 20 youngscholars who participated in an innovative

East-West Center environmental leadershipprogram. For six weeks these emerging leaders fromMalaysia, Singapore, Fiji and Papua New Guineawere immersed in a transformative and action-oriented program— The United States Institute onthe Environment (USIE) — designed to foster anunderstanding of the U.S. environmental movementand aid in the development of sustainable pathwaysto environmental stewardship.

“USIE empowered me to act; inspired me tolead; showed me I can if I want to,” declaredSubhashni Raj, a student from Fiji researching coralreef conservation and serving as a consultant for theSouth Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission.

During the first four weeks of the program,participants met with leaders in Hawai‘i’senvironmental movement including representativesfrom Hawaiian Electric Company; WasteManagement, Inc.; Ma‘o Farm; and Hawai‘iDepartment of Business, Economic Development& Tourism’s Clean Energy Initiative.

“I learned from USIE that environmentalstewardship is not a matter of a single generation,but rather how this generation relates to the futuregenerations,” stated Lin Wai Hwa, a student fromMalaysia working on a sediment core researchproject studying heavy metal pollution in the SuluSea. “Every action our ancestors made in the pastaffects all of us today,” said Lin.

During the field study in Washington D.C.,following a week meeting with scientists andenvironmental leaders in the San Francisco area,participants examined how effective policies testedby individual states are then adopted at the nationallevel. While in the capital, participants met withmembers of U.S. Congress leading environmentalcommittees that create policies, officials whoenforce the policies at the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency, and professionals who defend orchallenge policies at the Natural Resources DefenseCouncil.

“We saw the importance of finding a balancebetween all stakeholder groups,” said Mou HuitingClara, an analytical chemistry student fromSingapore. “Success will not happen overnight andit will definitely not happen with singular andcompetitive leadership. This is why we have acollective responsibility for the environment, bothas individual nations and as international partners.”

According to EWC’s USIE coordinatorChristina Monroe, “Participants wanted to knowwhy the U.S. does things a certain way and how theycan build upon and improve the model in theirrespective home countries.” At the completion ofthe program, participants presented one-year actionplans to take their USIE experience to the nextlevel. In her action plan, Mou addressed the “needto balance livelihood and conservation, create publicawareness, and build strong conservation-orientedinstitutions.”

Funded by the U.S. State Department’s Bureauof Educational and Cultural Affairs, USIE wasorganized and administered by the East-West Centerin collaboration with more than twenty organizationsincluding the University of Hawai‘i’s EnvironmentalCenter, Stanford University’s Woods Institute forthe Environment, and the Nature Conservancy. �

The findings project a5.3% increase in regional welfare and that allASEAN states will gain from the AEC initiative.

The National Transfer Account project,co-directed by Senior Fellow AndrewMason, examines saving and sharing amonggenerations in more than twenty countriesin Asia, North and South America, Europe,Africa, and the Pacific. As part of thelong-term study, the research team isanalyzing data from previous financial crises(e.g., “the lost generation” in Japan, theAsian financial crisis, and the Swedishbanking crisis), to get hints of what thecurrent financial crisis might mean in termsof public and private transfers of wealth.

The Center’s ResearchProgram addresses issues

of policy significance to theU.S. and the Asia Pacific region.The Program is organized intofour broad areas: 1) Politics,Governance and Security;2) Economics; 3) EnvironmentalChange, Vulnerability, andGovernance; and 4) Populationand Health.

Governance andHuman RightsUnder the auspices of the Asia PacificGovernance and Democracy Initiative(AGDI), Senior Fellow Shabbir Cheemaorganized the “Stakeholders Conferenceon Cross-Border Governance in Asiaand the Pacific” held in Bangkok.The meeting examined cross-bordergovernance issues related to migrationand refugees, trade and povertyreduction, water management, humantrafficking and human rights, andemerging infectious disease surveillanceand response. Cheema also launched

a project on electoral andparliamentary processes inPakistan with support fromthe U.N. Democracy Fund.The Asian International

Justice Initiative (AIJI)monitored the first trial of theExtraordinary Chamber in theCourts of Cambodia (ECCC)and engaged in a series of outreachand legacy initiatives (see p.8).
